Annie and Jodi would like to wish all their readers and regular visitors a happy, loving and connected 2009.

We will be back in a few days with exciting news about what is in store this year, including weekly blog features, new articles, more premium articles, videos, podcasts and surveys. In 2009 we will also be encouraging more reader feedback and participation.

We look forward to having you along on the journey and thank you for making Reclaim Sex After Birth the Number One website for all your information on all aspects of sex after birth.

We are conducting the first of our sex after birth surveys.  We would like to know of your experiences of the first time you had sex after birth, the interactions you had with primary health care provider and the education you undertook to prepare for sex after birth just to name a few things.

You can find the survey

here

It is a simple multiple choice, 10 question survey, with space for those who would like to comment further. We are aiming to have between 250 and 500 responses.  To do so we need your help.

Firstly we ask that you take the survey, then do one of the following things:

* email the link on to friends, family and work colleagues
* post the link on your favourite forum
* create a link on your blog or website
* create a link to the survey on your FaceBook profile

We’ll post up the results in December.

Welcome to December

Phew! It’s the end of the year … and Annie and Jodi would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.

We’d like to thank everyone, especially our partners, kids and friends who have supported us in creating our eBook and this website. And also to all those people who have bought Reclaim Sex After Birth: The Survival Guide and utilised our website. We feel very blessed to be able to fill the void in information regarding sex after birth and look forward to expanding the information in 2009.

Two very quick updates (as we appreciate that everyone is busy at this time of year) Firstly we have Reclaim Sex After Birth: the survival guide on CD in limited numbers, signed by both the authors. A perfect present for Christmas, blessingways and baby showers. Or treat yourself to the best information available about sex after birth.

Why?

Interim results from our Sex After Birth survey show that 3 in 4 couples receive no formal education in their ante natal classes to prepare them for sex after birth, nor do they do any self directed preparation. Grandfather of the Self Help movement in American, Henry James said:

“If your expectations meet your reality, you are happy.”

That’s what Reclaim is all about - giving couples an opportunity to reframe their expectations so they can meet the reality of life and love with a baby.

Secondly, Annie and Jodi both got over the 50,000 word finish line for the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). You can find extracts from our projects at:

Mistress Moon - Annie’s feminist speculative fiction novel.

Blue Melissae -  Jodi’s post environmental apocalypse sci-fi novel.

If you haven’t completed our sex after birth survey, please do. You can fill in the simple 10 question survey here, hosted by Survey Monkey. Our aim is to collect between 250 and 500 responses and we need your help. Some of the ways you can help us get all those responses is to:

* email the link on to friends, family and work colleagues
* post the link on your favourite forum
* create a link on your blog or website
* create a link to the survey on your FaceBook profile

Keep happy and connected. We hope you all have a relaxing and restorative festive season, that’s what we’re planning for.

We’ll see you in 2009.
